A man shot at police with a gun during a terrifying incident after he set his own flat on fire. He had said he would kill his wife and dog and kicked down a neighbour's door when his partner ran there for safety.
Shaun Wakefield, 47, showed a gun when police came to his place in Newport on April 5 last year. A video taken by someone living nearby shows him pointing the airgun at the police who were trying to make him feel calm, Wales Online reported.

Megan Jones, who tells the court what happened, said Shaun's wife took the dog to a neighbour's flat and called the police. They heard loud banging and Shaun yelling: "Fire, fire". The alarms for fire were going off. She looked through the door and saw Shaun with a knife.
A man was caught trying to break into a neighbour's flat, who managed to fend him off. The miscreant's wife spotted the end of an air rifle peeking out, a weapon she knew he owned.

An officer expressed his worries, saying: "I felt concerned for mine, my colleagues', and members of the public's safety. I am not a firearms specialist and I believed the gun could have been real."
Cops shouted to the culprit to "put the gun down", but he
